I posted a few weeks ago that I thought Galloni should turn over whatever he had at that point and to withhold notes was […]

Mon, 11 Mar 2013 04:38:04 +0000http://www.drvino.com/?p=12234#comment-409002I am trying to think of something cute to write about comparing our general news media to our “major league” wine critics, but I get a severe stomach cramp every time I think about them at the same time. And then my head explodes, just like Monty Python.

Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:43:43 +0000http://www.drvino.com/?p=12234#comment-408597Wow. I shouldn’t be surprised, but somehow I am. So smarmy, so icky.

Gary – It doesn’t seem that way. The post on his site seems like a doubling down on his position.

Quizicat – yes, it seems Bob doesn’t want to be a boss, certainly some evidence of that is the “independent contractor” structure of his contributors.

Gerry – Yes, it is turning into an operatic saga. But I also think it’s alienating people from scores and wine critics who swirl and spit points.

Wed, 06 Mar 2013 22:07:12 +0000http://www.drvino.com/?p=12234#comment-408464One thing that’s odd: why did Galloni wake up one morning and decide to bolt? It seems he parked a no-frills web site and had no start-up capital for his new project when he talked to both the NY Times and the SF Chronicle. So was he basically hanging out a “will work for food and Barolo” sign and testing the job market? Too bad neither story pushed him on why he was doing an Usain Bolt with no firm plans in place.

Wed, 06 Mar 2013 16:25:40 +0000http://www.drvino.com/?p=12234#comment-408451What? This strains the bounds of credulity! Pettiness and controversy at The Wine Advocate, which has become the School for Scandal in recent years? Who woulda thunk it?

Wed, 06 Mar 2013 16:21:18 +0000http://www.drvino.com/?p=12234#comment-408450It seems a bit strange that he must have been on WAs payroll when he wrote these reviews. Or if he wasn’t, then there would be no reason to explain himself.
He doesn’t want to be an employee, but I bet with all of the things going on in the last year or so that Bob doesn’t want to be an employer either.

Wed, 06 Mar 2013 16:04:03 +0000http://www.drvino.com/?p=12234#comment-408448AG may be totally right and correct in all of his actions. And I think we all understand why he went in this direction. But he should have just turned the report over to TWA and posted it on his site. He comes off looking petty and doesn’t help his cause. Hopefully he will correct his mistake and get on with his site.
